From Chicago to London

Hi all,

My wife and I are in process of beginning our application for spouse visa. We currently live in Chicago and she's moving back to UK in next few weeks. We will begin the application shortly and I can already tell this forum will be a HUGE help to us. Thanks for everyone's time and the friendliness of the group.

Welcome to the forum .

Feel free to ask any questions you have about the application process and documents required over in the Visas and CItizenship section of the forum .

Thanks!

Oh I'm sure I'll be asking quite a few questions over there!

Hi CC, welcome!

Oh, just a quick tip:

It's easier for us to help you (and keep track of your application situation) if you just make one thread for all your questions about your application .

That way if we need to double-check what you've already asked, or what advice you have already been given, or just general details about how you meet the visa requirements, all we have to do is scroll up or down one single page.

But, if you have multiple threads with different questions in each, then we have to hunt down each individual thread in the forum to remember what your situation is (and it also increases the chance of accidentally duplicating advice on multiple threads).

Welcome to the thread! If possibly try to convince your spouse to join too Might be good to have you both on here getting all the information you can.

Hello and welcome! Yep, you're definitely in the right place. Good people here! 

Thanks everyone! I will certainly listen to this advice and make one thread that I update. I'm guessing a generic subject name like 'My spouse visa journey-questions/updates/info' is probably best.

Yeah, something like that is fine .

I know people often think that their questions will get seen more easily if they start new threads with new titles, but I check all the new posts anyway, regardless of title, so they won't be missed.

Plus, as I said, if each question is in a different thread, it's harder to keep track of them all... and then there's always the danger that I'll reply with the wrong information because I've got two (or three or four) different people's situations mixed up.

Totally makes sense Ksand. I'm happy to do that as it will surely make it easier on me too.
